for fucks sake

why isnt there like... a class on known disabilities in school

literally, i just learned about Visual Snow, something that i feel like i should've known is A Thing for ages and ages, not all disabilities are visible, why the fuck are we not increasing awareness of them???

knowledge of these things *allows* people to understand and/or anticipate them, it also decreases the whole "you're just making this up" since whatever you learn in school often is more trusted than whatever people learn "random people" to trust for

seriously, some people live with this shit, and nobody knows about it

literally 1 or 2 classes, just listing the various types, or the various categories, or the ways people *can* have disabilities, would be immensely helpful

arghhhh

@ShadowJonathan hmm now i wonder if there's also a name/concept for the thing i have when there's a lot of close together parallel lines, like a wall covered in lines 1cm apart, and they start doing weird things to my vision like they're z-fighting

@Vierkantor @ShadowJonathan I don't know if there is but that happens to me when I get a really bad migraine headache, usually accompanied by a wave of vertigo and nausea

@ShadowJonathan @vxo @Vierkantor same, even tho not as much the vertigo and nausea. It’s for me either an indicator that I’m getting a migraine, or that I’m pretty sleep deprived.

@Vierkantor @ShadowJonathan probably unrelated but what my brain immediately jumps to when i hear patterns of dense parallel lines is moiré patterns
